  • Bluetooth discovery directly, the user might discover the available devices. The user then selects from a list of all found devices. In this case all devices being in Bluetooth range would be discovered. (This is not really a user friendly solution.)
  • the active identification unit is used as a middleman for storage and transmission of necessary information to set up a network connection.
  • the BCC interface needs less power as compared to the Bluetooth interface
  • using BCC interface for connection set up saves power compared to using mechanisms of Bluetooth directly as the Bluetooth interface can sleep until needed.
  • the method and apparatus described above can be applied in all domains where wireless ad hoc networks are being deployed and to all types of wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, WLAN (IEEE 802.11), ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) and the like.
  • the application areas include: (a) Easy and secure set-up of wireless networks for Personal Area Networks as in PHC, including user-specific configuration of devices; (b) Association of body-worn devices with peripheral devices, for example ECG sensor and bedside monitor for home monitoring of vital signs, integration of wireless scale to body area network for personal healthcare applications; and (c) Application in consumer-related application, allowing easy integration of home monitoring functionality into in-home networks.
  • some devices can be on more than one local network. In this manner, two patients in the same household can communicate their medical information to a central location with the same communication device.
